pros and cons

pros to having feline dental surgery:

• cat potentially lives longer
• cat stops being in pain
• i can enjoy my cat longer

cons to having feline dental surgery:

• cat has a 50-50 chance of making it through anesthesia
• endless bouts of pills to make her well
• dental problems might not be the cause of her distress; it could be worse
• it's expensive, starting at $450
• the stress of leaving her there at the clinic and wondering if she will make it
• paying for surgery and having the cat die

i think i know my answer, i really do.  it's just hard to say it.
